Whiteread's monumental public projects have included 1993's controversial "House," a concrete cast of the entire inside of a condemned Victorian terraced house. Exhibited at the location of the original house in East London, it won the Turner Prize for best young British artist as well as the K Foundation award for worst British artist. The piece was demolished in January 1994, causing further controversy.
